Old Zhou knew that today’s incident had come to this point, and Lao San would mention it.

However, for him to mention it made Old Zhou feel like he had been poured with ice water.

Had I known ……

If he had known when Mrs. Sun was pretending to be sick, he would have stopped it.

Why on earth did he not stop this?

Was it because he was tired of the heavy work in the field and did not want to do it? Or was it because he didn’t want to let Lao San go into business from the bottom of his heart? Or he did not even want Lao Er to study ……

From his heart, he approved of Mrs. Sun’s pretense of illness, but the strange thing was Qing invited a doctor!

Coincidentally, the clan elder’s family invited a doctor. Otherwise, the girl could not be so quick to call for one.

Was it God’s will?

The old man closed his eyes and let out a long breath. He slowly opened his eyes and said, “First, go and call your Second Brother in.”

“Father, if you agree to split the family, I will go.” Zhou Huailin’s attitude was firm.

Zhou Huaihai’s eyes were burning with anxiety. He wanted to pull Zhou Huaishan in immediately but didn’t want to split up the family.

“Lao San, do you have to make our parents a little sick before you are willing to do so? Splitting the family, the parents are not splitting the family, don’t you know that!”

Zhou Huailin looked at Zhou Huaihai coldly.

“Whether I made mother so angry that she became sick, or someone instigated mother to pretend to be sick, the doctor understands it in his heart.”

“You ……”

Zhou Huaihai became irritated and wanted to hit Zhou Huailin, but he knew he couldn’t.

Old Zhou slapped a cigarette stick.

“Well, you go and call Lao Er. Call back to split the family!”

“Father!”

Zhou Huailin lifted his feet and headed out.

Zhou Huaihai incredulously looked at Old Zhou.

Mrs. Wang also panicked and immediately pulled Mrs. Sun’s hand, “Mother!”

Old Zhou glanced at Mrs. Sun, who was about to speak, “Shut up, I’m still alive. I’m still in charge of this family!”

Remembering yesterday’s slap, Mrs. Sun dared not speak up but only looked at Zhou Qing with resentment.

If it weren’t for Zhou Qing’s doctor, there would be no such thing!

Little brat!

Zhou Huailin pulled Zhou Huaishan into the house, and the people who were watching gradually dispersed.

When Zhou Huaishan entered the house, Mrs. Sun was so angry that she grabbed something and smashed it at him. “I didn’t expect you to look so loyal and honest, but you are black-hearted. What did your Big Brother do to you that you want to harm him so much!”

Zhou Huaishan widened his eyes and looked at Mrs. Sun.

This mother was not a fool, right?

Old Zhou saw the doubts from the bottom of the dandy’s heart, which was pure shock.

Old Zhou watched the shock and aggravation on his honest face and sighed again, “Shut up!”

Mrs. Sun’s eyes shot with rage but she did not speak again.

Old Zhou sat on the bed sullenly, holding a cigarette stick in his hand and turning it around, and was silent for a long while before he spoke hoarsely.

“Have you thought about it, to split the family?”

Old Zhou looked towards Zhou Huailin.

Zhou Huailin nodded, “Mm.”

“You too?” Old Zhou looked at Zhou Huaishan, too, “You want to split the family too?”

Mrs. Sun wiped her tears, “They are all blood-sucking things like leeches. I gave birth to you, raised you, gave you a family, and now each of you has hardened your wings, and you don’t care about your parents, and you want to split up the family? How did you grow up from the size of a puppy? Which time were you sick and feverish? Your father and I have been holding you all night, and now a little discontent will separate the family ……”

In the past, if Mrs. Sun was like this, Zhou Huaishan wavered.

Zhou Huailin nervously stared at Zhou Huaishan.

Zhou Huaishan licked his dry and cracked mouth. With a simple and honest face, “Well, I want to split.”

He ignored what Mrs. Sun said.

Zhou Huailin breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Mrs. Sun cried and cursed in anger.

“I disagree.” Zhou Huaihai glared at Zhou Huailin and Zhou Huaishan, his eyes red as if he wanted to kill, “The parents are not separating the family. What are you making a scene about.”

Zhou Huailin then coldly snorted, “This family, in the end, who is making a scene? Who stalked Qing? Who threw dirty water on her? Who abetted Mother to pretend to be sick?”

“You ……”

“Shut up!” Old Zhou slapped the bed table, “It’s fine to divide the family, but hear me out on how to do it.”

“Father!” Mrs. Wang and Zhou Huaihai shouted at Old Zhou in unison.

They did not want to divide the family.

Old Zhou sighed heavily.

What did you guys do if you didn’t want to split up the family?

If you didn’t make a fuss, you would not have reached this point!

The old man said, “The family’s land, in four parts—one for you, one for me, and one for your mother. Once we are dead, you will share it equally. The grain will also be divided equally among the four shares.”

Old Zhou felt uncomfortable when he started to divide the family. It was like having boiling water poured over his heart.

He took a deep breath and slowly sighed.

“As for the family’s silver ……”

Mrs. Wang almost pleadingly cried, “Father, Yuan will soon pay his education fees.”

Old Zhou said, “Over these years, the eldest studied, and then Yuan. All the family’s silver was spent on them. I know you have grievances in your hearts, but I have to make it clear. 70% of the silver is for Yuan to keep, and the remaining 30% is for you three houses to share.”

In other words, after the main house had taken up 70% of the money, the remaining 30% would be divided.

This was already quite unfair.

Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Huailin looked at each other.

“Okay!” Zhou Huailin only wanted to divide the family as long as possible.

After Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Huailin looked at each other again, they looked toward Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing nodded vaguely, and Zhou Huaishan followed, “I’m okay too.”

Zhou Huaihai was so angry that his veins appeared.

This was originally the silver of the first house, but now it would be divided between the second and third houses!

Why?

“The family’s chicken, each of you from three houses share equally. Your mother and I don’t want it; the pigs are ours. We will share meat with you when we slaughter them by next year.”

Old Zhou said in detail.

These trivial things made his heart twist like a knife.

“Although the family is separated, I have a request, do not move away to another residence.”

This was Old Zhou’s final piece.

“Yes!”

“I’ll listen to Father.”

Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Huailin spoke in unison.

It had come to this; the family had been divided.

Old Zhou took the land deed and gave it to them. He also took the family’s silver out and bought three shares, one for each of the three brothers.

“From now on, the family is divided. You will bear all the expenses of each of you, and if anything happens, your Mother and I will not care!”

Zhou Huailin glanced at Zhou Huaihai and said to the old man, “Father, don’t worry. Since the family is separated, we should bear the expenses of our own family, but we are still as filial to our parents as before.”

Zhou Huaihai snorted coldly, “Bullshit! As filial as before? If you were filial, why would you have to split up the family?”

Zhou Huailin strongly opposed back, “Filial piety to parents is natural. I do not want to be filial to my brother, sister-in-law, and nephews.”

“You ……”

Mrs. Sun interrupted Zhou Huaihai’s words and sneered, “Then, in the future, when Yuan is capable of great things, you can remember that the family has already been separated. Don’t be shameless.”

No one expected that Mrs. Sun would throw out such a sentence.

“Mother, don’t worry, even if it is to beg for food, my Third House can’t beg the First House’s door!” Zhou Huailin left an angry sentence, took Zhou Ping, and left.

As soon as they left, Zhou Huaishan looked at Zhou Qing, “We’ll do the same.”

The two left as well.
